Expand all | Collapse all

I am a retired math and physics professor and a leader in Missouri's conservative grassroots movement. I worked for Bill Eigel's campaign for governor in 2024 as a county coordinator in three counties - Iron, Reynolds, and St. Francois, and I gave surrogate speeches for Bill Eigel at Lincoln days events. I organized the first ever STL Medical Freedom March in the spring of 2022. I gave over 20 speeches at county council and school board meetings protesting unconstitutional Covid mask and vaccine mandates. I maintained a 600 person email distribution list called We The People of Missouri which was used to advertise patriotic events and rallies across the state. In the Fall of 2024 I was hired to knock 1,500 doors for Charlie Kirk in Arizona to turn out the vote for President Donald Trump. My Dad was a WWII hero, spending 8 months in a German prison camp after his bomber was shot down. I am a patriot and lover of freedom. I can't stand seeing this country systematically dismantled and destroyed by corruption and an ideology that is at war with God and the government our Founding Fathers established.
  • Restore the Founding Fathers' vision of government to Missouri. The sole purpose of government is to protect your inalienable rights (freedom or speech, freedom of religious worship, right to bear arms, and so on), which come directly from God.
  • Government should serve the interests of its citizens, not lobbyists, special interests, and out-of-state billionaires. The sad truth is most of our state representatives are controlled, if not bought off by, special interests and lobbyists and are no longer serving the interests of the people.
  • Limit and constrain government within the boundaries of the Constitution. Get government out of most aspects of your life. The private sector will almost always outperform government at a given task. Reduce government regulation and restore freedom to people to live their own lives unhindered by government bureaucracy.
Drastically reducing the size and scope of government, slashing taxes, and securing our elections - paper ballots, hand-counting, same day election results, clean voter rolls, and no voting machines.
